Hi Marilyn I don't know if what you suggest applies to Word 2013. I'm not used to working with the ribbon. I can tab around but that gets tedious. I also wonder what to do about all those buttons. Regards, Kim.

I use Word 2008 (for Macs), so I don't know how much help I can be. With what I'm using, if you press CONTROL, hold it, and press the number "8" the paragraph lines go away. I wonder what it would do for you. Also, if you press CONTROL, hold it, and press the letter "a" you have selected the whole document. You can make it all left justified now (CONTROL, hold it, and press the letter "L"), turn on and off all the bolding (CONTROL, hold it, and press the letter "B"), turn on and off all the underlining (CONTROL, hold it, and press the letter "U"), and press CONTROL, hold it, and press the letter "D" to format the font (I've heard most people like the one called "Arial"), change the whole thing to type size 12, etc. Does this help at all?

Ordinarily I don't see this, but I think I asked to be shown all. Now the problem is how do I find out how the page is formatted? I don't know how to do the usual procedures I'd usually do in a document because I don't know Word 2013. I'm used to dealing with Word 2003. So I'm dealing with that silly backstage view and don't know how to find out about the font, paragraph, page setup, etc. I get a lot of buttons but nothing which I can see to enable me to do what ought to be done if anything. So do I press the enter key whenever I come to a marker indicating a new line or don't I? What do I do about paragraph marks in a book? I should also say the scan is terrific, but I have never encountered this situation before so am unsure how to proceed. Regards, Kim.

This can be done (at least in older versions) either as your default setup, or (more likely in this case, unless you just started using word 2013), as part of the document itself. Those marks are not actually part of the file, they are just displayed by word when you set it up that way so you can tell the difference between tabs and spaces. I suppose in some situations, like proofing, they could help eliminate subtle errors that might otherwise be the dickens to find. Hope this helps.

Do I leave those in? Also How can I get information on the format of thefile? Any help in using Word 2013 would definitely be appreciated because I d like to know how to use it to prepare it for proofreading. Rather than messing with it, I m doing as little as possible until I know better what to do. Regards, Kim Friedman. P.S.: Would appreciate getting information as soon as anyone knows anything for I d like to do a good job on this one.
